‘Overdue an update’ | 200 more UK employers make permanent switch to a four-day work week

How would you feel about the prospect of working one less day a week, without sacrificing pay?

Perhaps the notion of securing more work-life balance and flexibility for personal hobbies or fulfilling family commitments fills you with barely contained excitement. Or maybe the mere idea of trying to cram an already jam-packed schedule into even fewer hours is enough to make your palms sweaty, knees weak, and arms heavy.

For 5,000 workers across the UK, that scenario is no longer a theoretical musing, but a genuine reality to digest after their employers signed up to become the latest to adopt a four-day working week.

200 UK firms make the four-day switch – and they aren’t going back

Some 200 UK companies have elected to make the work model a permanent feature, ranging from marketing agencies and technology firms to charities.
